Section 1. Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONSAll electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local

codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly.

WARNING

To Reduce the Risk of Injury -

a) The water in a spa should never exceed (40°C). Water temperatures between (38°C) and (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to (38°C).

c) Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.

d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

Page 5

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGPeople with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.

To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.

Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.

Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.

Water temperature in excess of (38°C) may be injurious to your health.

Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.

Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.

Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.

Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 1.5m of a spa or hot tub.

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

Attention installer: Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.

WARNINGTo avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only packaged pool/spa heaters which have built-in operating and high limit controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device should not be relied upon as a safety limit control.

Section 2. Installation of the

ePump™ Controller

2.1 Introduction

This document provides general instructions to install the controller for use with the Zodiac ePump™ variable speed pump. The controller can be mounted to an electrical gang box (single, double, or triple) or to a flat wall.

The instructions have been written with safety as the priority, and must be followed exactly. Read through the instructions completely before starting the procedure.

Please note, the ePump™ Controller can not be used in conjunction with a Jandy PDA or OneTouch™ Controller.

2.2 The Controller Panel

The controller panel provides both timed and manual speed controls for the Zodiac ePump™ Variable Speed Pump.

Four speed presets are directly available on the panel, while four (4) additional presets may be accessed via the MENU key.

The up and down keys are used to adjust the pump speed. The speed is saved as it is adjusted. No further action is required to save the new speed setting after adjustment. The selected speed can be saved and assigned to one of the speed buttons.

Figure 1. Zodiac ePump™ Variable Speed Pump Controller Panel

As shown in Figure 1, preset speed "" is assigned to the "eStar" feature. Hence, it is intended to be assigned an energy-efficient filtration speed, as determined by the installer.

2.3 The Controller Components

The ePump™ controller assembly (See Figure 2) contains the following components:

1. ePump™ Controller2. Mounting Gasket3. Backplate4. Round Seal5. Six (6) Screws

Additional materials are required for the installation of the controller and must be supplied by the installer:

1. A cable to connect the pump to the remotely mounted controller, minimum size of 22 AWG (Zodiac part number WCABLE). This cable will need to have four (4) conductors and be able to handle 24V control signals. This cable should be rated for the particular installation (for example: outdoor, UV resistant, direct burial, etc.) and should conform to all applicable codes and regulations. (A suitable cable is included in the FloPro Series ePump™.)

2. A minimum of two (2) fasteners to mount the controller back plate to a wall or electrical box. The fasteners should be suitable for the surface where the controller is to be remotely mounted.

2.4 Installation of the Backplate onto an Electrical Box

CAUTIONDo not expose the user interface to direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight will darken the LCD screen, and it will no longer be readable.

1. Turn off the pump at the control panel.

2. Turn off all electrical power to the pump at the main junction box or at the circuit breaker providing electrical power to the pump.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDTurn off all switches and the main breaker in the ePump™ electrical circuit before starting the procedure. Failure to comply may cause a shock hazard resulting in severe personal injury or death.

Page 7

3. Secure the backplate to the box using the screws that came with the electrical box.

4. Drill out a ½" hole and insert the round seal supplied with the kit. A remote cable will run through the middle hole of the backplate and into the electrical box.

Figure 2. Controller Components

2.5 Installation of the Backplate on a Flat Wall

CAUTIONDo not expose the user interface to direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight will darken the LCD screen, and it will no longer be readable.

1. Turn off the pump at the control panel.

2. Turn off all electrical power to the pump at the main junction box or at the circuit breaker providing electrical power to the pump.

WARNING


3. A minimum of two (2) fasteners (installer supplied) are required when installing to a flat wall to hold the controller securely.

4. The backplate has ten (10) mounting holes to choose from. Only drill out the backplate holes that will be used. See Figure 2.

5. Mark the hole locations on the wall and use the fastener to secure the backplate to the wall.

6. At the bottom of the backplate, cut the two (2) tabs out with an appropriate tool, such as a Stanley knife, and route the cable through the open channel.

2.6 Connection to the Jandy ePump™ Variable Speed Pump

The following steps provide the procedure for installing the controller to a Zodiac ePump™ variable speed pump.

1. Turn off all switches and the main breaker that supplies power to the pump.

WARNING


2. Attach the four (4) wires in the RS-485 cable to the RS-485 connector. Make sure the colors match the positions on the User Interface. See Figure 3.

3. Turn on all switches and the main breaker feeding power to the pump.

4. Verify the operation of the controller. If the controller displays FAULT PUMP NOT CONNECTED, re-check the wiring and the DIP switch address setting on the pump.

Figure 3. Wiring the User Interface to the Zodiac ePump™ Variable Speed Pump

2.7 Zodiac ePump™ Variable Speed Pump Switch Settings

For the ePump™, the 4-position dip switch is located at the rear of the pump, as shown in Figure 3.

Page 8

This dip switch serves two functions, it determines what type of control will be used with the pump and it selects the pump address. The SW 1 (switch 1) and SW 2 are turned ON if the pump is to be controlled by a stand alone controller.

The SW 3 and SW 4 are turned ON/OFF to select the Pump address.

SW 3 SW 4 PUMP No.

OFF OFF 1

ON OFF 2

OFF ON 3

ON ON 4

2.8 Connection to Remote Contacts

The controller allows speeds "" through "4" to operate via remote contact closures (switch or relay). Speed "4" operates differently than the other three. See Section 2.10, Remote Closure 4 Behavior.

1. Turn off all switches and the main breaker that supplies power to the ePump™.

WARNING


2. Connect one side of the remote contact closure to the COMMON terminal on J3 REMOTE CONTROL connector of the controller. See Figure 5.

3. Connect the other side of the remote contact closure to INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3, or INPUT 4 terminal on J3 REMOTE CONTROL connector of the controller, depending on which speed is to be controlled.

4. Turn on all switches and the main breaker feeding power to the ePump™.

5. Verify the operation of the contact closures. If the correct speed is activated when the closure is activated, the ePump™ starts, and the message REMOTE ENABLED appears on the controller display.

NOTE When starting the pump via a remote closure, the pump will first run at the priming speed for the priming duration, as set by the installer.

Figure 4. Connection to Remote Contacts

2.9 Remote Operation

Speeds activated via remote closures always override speeds that have been activated manually or via an internal timer program. When the pump is activated via a remote closure, the keypad is disabled and the message REMOTE ENABLED appears on the display.

The controller will remain in this state until the contact is opened. When more than one (1) contact closure occurs, the highest speed will take priority.

2.10 Remote Closure 4 Behavior

The behavior of speed "4" differs from manual operation when operated via a remote contact closure. As during manual operation, the turn-on time of remote closure 4 is immediate, and occurs at the same time as contact closure (For example, see Section 2.8). The turn-off time, however, is delayed by 30 minutes.

In other words, when remote closure 4 is de-activated, the ePump™ will continue to run for 30 minutes, after which time the controller will turn off the ePump™. The delay may be manually interrupted by pressing any preset key.

Page 9

2.10.1 Remote Closure 4 Application - Booster Pump Support

The behavior of remote closure 4 may be used to allow an external timeclock fitted with a 20-minute electrical isolation switch (e.g., Intermatic P/N 156T4042A) to properly control the ePump™ in conjunction with a booster pump.

Connection for Booster Pump Support:

1. Turn off all switches and the main breaker that supplies power to the ePump™.

WARNING


2. Install the normally-closed electrical isolation switch to the timeclock assembly. (See timeclock manufacturer’s instructions for details.)

3. Connect the main timeclock contacts to the booster pump power input per the booster pump installation manual.

4. Connect one side of the fireman’s switch to the ePump™ Controller at J3 REMOTE CONTROL, COMMON.

5. Connect the other side of the fireman’s switch to the ePump™ controller at J3 REMOTE CONTROL, INPUT 4.

6. Set the timeclock to the desired on/off times.

7. Turn on all switches and the main breaker feeding power to the ePump™.

8 If the installation is working properly, the fireman’s switch will open 20 minutes before the booster pump shuts down, the ePump™ will continue to run for 30 minutes, and the ePump™ Controller will display PUMP WILL REMAIN ON FOR xx:xx, where xx:xx is the

time remaining until ePump™ shutdown.

Section 3. Overview of the Controller

3.1 The ePump™ Controller

The ePump™ controller contains an advanced microcontroller that provides a simple yet sophisticated interface to operate your ePump™ for maximum efficiency and enjoyment of your pool.

The controller allows operation of the ePump™ in three ways: Manually, from built-in timers, and remotely via contact closures.

3.2 The ePump™ Controller Interface

The ePump™ controller interface panel provides both timed and manual speed controls for the ePump™.

Four (4) speed presets are directly available on the panel, while four additional presets may be accessed via the MENU key.

The up and down arrow keys are used to adjust the pump speed. Speed is saved as it is adjusted. No further action is required to save the new speed setting after adjustment. The selected speed can be saved and assigned to one of the speed buttons.

As shown below, preset speed "" is assigned to the eStar feature. Hence, it is intended to be assigned an energy-efficient filtration speed, as determined by the installer.

Page 10

3.3 Basic Functions

The ePump™ has two (2) operational modes: User Mode and Setup Mode.

3.3.1 User Mode

In the User Mode, the controller provides access to pump control options including:

• Manual start and stop of pump • Pump speed setting • Timeclock setup and operation

See Section 4.1 for User Mode (pg10)

3.3.2 Setup Mode

The Setup Mode allows the user to configure the controller. Setup options include:

• Time-of-day setting • Labeling of pump presets (speeds) • Display light control • Language selection • Run duration

See Section 6 for Set Up Mode (pg 17)

Section 4. User Mode

4.1 OFF Mode

When the pump is off (not running), the controller displays PRESS PRESET OR MENU/00:00 PUMP IS OFF, where 00:00 is the time-of-day clock.

4.2 RUN Mode

When the pump is running (not off), the controller displays N:LABEL/00:00 RPM:xxxx, where n:label is the number and label of the selected preset, 00:00 is the time-of-day clock, and xxxx is the pump speed.

4.3 Manual Start and Stop

Up to eight (8) programmed speeds may be started from the controller. Manual operation of speeds "" through "4" differs from manual operation of speeds "5" through "8".

NOTE When starting the pump, the pump will first run at the priming speed for the priming duration, as set by the installer.

4.3.1 Speeds eStar through 4

To start the pump manually running at speeds "eStar" through "4", press button "" through "4" corresponding to the desired speed. The associated LED will illuminate red and the controller enters the RUN mode.

To stop the pump, press the button again. The associated LED will extinguish and the pump and controller will return to the OFF mode.

Page 11

4.3.2 Speeds 5 through 8

To start the pump manually at speeds "5" through "8", press the MENU button. The controller displays SELECT PRESET/N:LABEL, where n:label is the number and label of the last selected preset "5" through "8".

Using the arrow keys, select the desired preset to activate, and then press MENU to enter RUN mode, starting the pump running at the selected speed.

2 3 4

SELECT PRESET 5:PRESET 5

ePUMP

MENU

To stop the pump, press MENU. To exit without starting the pump, press any button "" through "4".

4.4 Pump Speed Setting

With the exception of preset "", the pump speed for each preset may be adjusted while the pump is running in that preset mode. Preset "" is reserved for the eStar function, and its speed is set by the installer.

To adjust the pump speed, the controller must be in the RUN mode. While in RUN mode, the controller displays the pump speed. Adjust the speed by pressing the up or down arrow keys. The speed is saved by the controller and will remain until changed again.

NOTE Pump speed is adjustable only within a certain range. The minimum and maximum limits of the range are set by the installer.

4.5 Timeclock Setup and Operation

The controller allows the user to create timed pump programs on pump speeds (presets) "" and "2". The two timers operate independently of each other, and may overlap in time if desired.

4.5.1 Timeclock Setup

Start the desired speed, "" or "2". Press MENU. The controller enters the Timeclock setup mode. Using the arrow keys, select ON TIME and press MENU. Set the desired pump turn-on time using the arrow keys and press MENU. The time is stored. Select OFF TIME using the arrow keys and press MENU. Set the desired pump turn-off time using the arrow keys and press MENU. The time is stored.

NOTE If your filtration equipment run time is controlled via an external timeclock such as a chlorinator or a solar controller, add filtration run time to the default 12:00AM (midnight) ON TIME.

Example: Should you wish to run filtration for 8 hours per day set the ON TIME as 12:00AM (midnight) and set the ePump OFF TIME as 8:00AM.

Please note this does not mean the filtration will operate at midnight. It indicates the epump will run for 8 hours duration from when it receives power from the external timeclock.

Page 12

Using the arrow keys, select TIMECLOCK. Select ENABLE using the arrow keys. The program is now enabled to run. Press the preset button ("" or "2") to return to the RUN mode.

4.5.2 Timeclock Operation

When the pump is stopped, the associated green LED will illuminate, indicating a timeclock program is enabled for that speed.

If two (2) timed programs overlap, the program with the faster speed will take priority and run to completion. If the earlier-starting program is still active, it will resume operation. The program off times never change, i.e., they are not ‘pushed-out’ in time when programs overlap. Timeclock programs may be prematurely stopped by stopping the pump manually from the keypad. This override is active until the program start time is reached again, at which time the timed program will start the pump as programmed. See Section 3.5.3, Manually Overriding a Timer Program.

If the pump is started manually at a speed that has been programmed with a timer, the pump will be stopped by the timeclock at the programmed off time. See Section 3.5.4, Timer Overriding a Manual On.

NOTE When starting the pump via a timed program, the pump will first run at the priming speed for the priming duration, as set by the installer. If a program overlap occurs, the pump will immediately start at the program speed without priming first.

4.5.3 Manually Overriding a Timer Program

Timeclock programs may be prematurely stopped by pressing the active preset key. This override is active until the program start time is reached again, i.e., for 24 hours, at which time the timed program will start the pump as programmed.

4.5.4 Timer Overriding a Manual On

If the pump is started manually at a speed that has been programmed with a timer, the pump will be stopped by the timeclock at the programmed off time. A clock icon appears on the display when the timer has assumed control of the off time.

4.6 Remote Operation

The controller allows speeds "", "2", and "3" to be operated like manually operated speeds via remote contact closures. Speed "4" may also be operated remotely, but it behaves differently. See Section 2.10, Remote Closure 4 Behavior.

Speeds activated via remote closures always override speeds that have been activated manually or via an internal timer program. When the pump is activated via a remote closure, the keypad is disabled and the message REMOTE ENABLED appears on the display.

Page 13

The controller will remain in this state until the contact is opened. When more than one contact closure occurs, the highest speed will take priority.

NOTE When starting the pump via a remote closure, the pump will first run at the priming speed for the priming duration, as set by the installer.

4.6.1 Remote Closure 4 Behavior

The behavior of speed 4 differs from other speeds when operated via a remote contact closure.

As during manual operation, the turn-on time of remote closure 4 is immediate, and occurs at the same time as the contact closure. The turn-off time, however, is delayed by 30 minutes. In other words, when remote closure 4 is de-activated, the pump will continue to run for 30 minutes, after which time the controller will turn off the pump. The delay may be manually interrupted by pressing any preset key.

4.6.2 Remote Closure 4 Application - Booster Pump Support

The behavior of remote closure 4 may be used to allow an external timeclock fitted with a 20-minute electrical isolation switch (e.g., Intermatic P/N 156T4042A) to properly control the pump in conjunction with a booster pump. Consult your installer for further information.

4.7 Pump Freeze Protect

To help protect against pump damage, the controller monitors the temperature inside the pump. If enabled, pump freeze protect will start the pump at the eStar speed when the temperature approaches freezing. The pump will then run for a duration set by the installer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON FREEZE PROTECTION

Freeze protection is intended to protect equipment and plumbing for short periods of freezing only. It does this by activating the filtration pump and circulating the water to prevent freeze inside equipment or plumbing. Freeze protection does not guarantee that equipment will not be damaged by extended periods of freezing temperatures or power outages. In these conditions, the pool and spa should be shut down completely (e.g. drained of water and closed for the winter) until warmer weather exists.

The pump freeze protect run time may be interrupted by pressing a preset key, as follows:

Pressing the "" key once overrides the pump freeze protect run time, pressing it twice turns off the pump. Pressing other preset keys will override the pump freeze protect run time and activate the selected preset speed.

4.8 Keypad Lock
